Hub PowerMeter experience

[ValleyForge]

I'm keen to put an ANT+ power meter on my Campy fitted bikes to use on the road & the Kurt Kinetic. Being Campy, this rules out Qarc & SRM. I'm well aware of the negative PowerTap posts, but I was wondering if they were just lemons.

Anyone have good experience with a PowerTap? Alternatives?

I have 3 campag bikes with an SRM on each of them.

From my reading, it wasn't 11s compatible.

From my reading, it wasn't 11s compatible.

The FSA K-Force Light SRM is compatible with Campag 11-speed chainrings (or compatible rings).

Is the chain on 11 speed narrower than 10 speed? A bloke in our club runs dura ace 7800 crank set with campag centaur or something group set, it works fine, 10 speed though. If the chain on 11 speed is narrower it may drop in between the rings when you come off the big ring running a 10 speed chain ring set up?

Ah-ha, the fine print comes out. Thanks for the info.

I'm quite sure you can run a Sram Quarq with an 11sp Campy groupset. If you want to TEST it - see if a buddy will lend you his SRAM crank to try (you'll have to fit the Sram BB as well) - if it works properly with a Sram Rival, Force or Red crank then it would work with the Sram Quarq unit.

Actually SRM will supply 11-speed compatible rings with most models of SRM (e.g. on FSA Gossamer model) for an extra charge (I forget how much right now).

It sounds like a good deal - but you are better off going for the Elite or above after a bit of further reading on the powertap website. The reason is the comp is not compatible with ANT devices, and has its own head unit. Was looking at wiggle and the Powertap elite plus with a wheel with 20% discount ... was $885.34 Still, worth $100 more to get the elite IMO.
